Robert F. Kennedy jnr and Oz have been leading figures in the Make America Healthy Again movement, encouraging Americans to avoid processed foods and improve their dietary habits.<\/p>\n
However, their efforts to persuade the US President to change his own diet have not been successful, according to the New York Post.<\/p>\n
US President Donald Trump likes McDonald’s and Diet Coke.<\/p>\n
Oz said Trump also has a soft spot for Fanta.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe were on Air Force One the other day, and I walked in because he wanted to talk about something, and he had an orange soft drink on his desk,\u201d Oz said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI said, \u2018Are you kidding me?\u2019<\/p>\n
Trump started to sheepishly grin, Oz said.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe goes, \u2018You know, this stuff is good for me \u2013 it kills cancer cells.\u2019<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd then he tells me, \u2018It\u2019s fresh squeezed, so how bad could it be for you?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
Oz and Trump jnr then agreed that the US President was \u201cin perfect health\u201d.<\/p>\n

Trump stopped into a McDonald\u2019s in Pennsylvania to try his hand as an employee at the restaurant while he campaigned in 2024.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m looking for a job,\u201d Trump told the owner of the McDonald\u2019s, according to CNN.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd I\u2019ve always wanted to work at McDonald\u2019s.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Robert F.
